BackgroundIn this study, we aimed to explore the effect of the timing of surgical management of hydrosalpinx on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic single-sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) pregnancy outcomes in patients with tubal factor infer…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common cause of irregular menstrual cycles and infertility. Current treatments primarily involve ovulation induction and sex steroid hormone therapy. Tokishakuyakusan (TSS) is a traditional Ja…

BACKGROUND: To investigate whether endometriosis is associated with the risk of incident nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS: Data were retrieved from Nurses' Health Study II with participants followed up from 1995 to 2017. A…

BackgroundNeonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is a prevalent cause of respiratory failure and death among newborns, and prompt diagnosis is imperative. Historically, diagnosis of NRDS relied mostly on typical clinical manifestatio…

BACKGROUND: As a dual-function metabolite, succinate has emerged in cell function and plays a key signaling role in linking mitochondrial function to other cellular functions. Succinate accumulation in the cytoplasm is commonly associated w…

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) increases the risk of short-term and long-term complications. Widespread N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications on mRNAs have been found to be involved in various biological processes. However, the role of m6A…

OBJECTIVES: Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a crucial inflammatory factor that functions as an alarm signal in endometriosis (EMs). Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process related to inflammatory signals, intracellular reactive oxygen …

Successful pregnancy requires the tolerance of the maternal immune system for the semi-allogeneic embryo, as well as a synchrony between the receptive endometrium and the competent embryo. The annexin family belongs to calcium-regulated pho…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate MRI features of bowel endometriosis (BE) and verify its clinical significance compared with pathological diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Since 2018, patients clinically diagnosed with deep endometriosis (DE) and pl…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory condition that is highly heterogeneous. Current clinical staging fails to accurately predict drug responses and prognosis. In this study, we aimed to reveal the heterogeneity of ecto…

Abstract Background As a dual-function metabolite, succinate has emerged in cell function and plays a key signaling role in linking mitochondrial function to other cellular functions. Succinate accumulation in the cytoplasm is commonly asso…

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous uterine venous rupture combined with ovarian rupture in late pregnancy is extremely rare. It often has an insidious onset and atypical symptoms, develops rapidly, and is easily misdiagnosed. Wewould like to discuss a…

Abstract Endometriosis is an invasive disease, and a leading cause of pain, infertility and disability among women, with an incidence 10 fold that of cancer. A more complete understanding of disease pathogenesis is essential for the develop…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder in reproductive women where abnormal folliculogenesis is considered as a common characteristic. Our aim is to evaluate the potential of follicular fluid (FF) Rama…

Growth hormone (GH) is involved in the regulation of male and female infertility. Several clinical studies reveal that adjuvant GH treatment has a possible role in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), especi…

Zmpste24 is a metalloproteinase responsible for the posttranslational processing and cleavage of prelamin A into mature laminA. Zmpste24(-/-) mice display a range of progeroid phenotypes overlapping with mice expressing progerin, an altered…
